Photos and Description of this County Clare holiday 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, sleeps 8

For anyone who has ever been to Ireland, you know how truly relaxing it can be. But for those of you have been to the West coast you have also experienced the true magic of this country. This house is in a remarkable location with the Aran Islands in front of you and the Burren behind. Virtually every window has a postcard view. And although the views are spectacular, the house has a warmth all its own. The moment you step in the front door, you will feel like you are home. Maybe that's why we have so many people come back year after year. Or maybe it's the truly wonderful friends we have in the area who make you feel more like family than a visitor. Three of the rooms have king size beds with bathrooms en suite. The fourth room has two twin beds with a bathroom just outside the door. The living room has a gorgeous hand carved stone fireplace and two-story ceilings with skylights. ** I do not use the HomeAway calendar, so please contact me directly for availability.

For those of you who wish to leave the house you will find abundant entertainment. There is a gorgeous sand beach just down the road. For the golfers in your group there is a world-class golf course just a few towns over in Lahinch. Also in Lahinch you will find some of the country's best surfing. (And, although Fanore is not yet renowned for its surfing, there is a surf school every summer.) And for those of you music lovers, Doolin is just one town over and is renowned for its traditional Irish music in addition to many incredible restaurants. But for those who wish to explore Fanore, you will find amazing scenic walks and some of the best angling in the country. The house is just up the road from O'Donohue's Pub and a small grocery shop . All are within walking distance.

Great Location

luvtotravel1 Asbury Park, NJ
Review Submitted: October 14, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
The house was beautiful. Exactly how it looks in the pictures.

We flew into Dublin and immediately drove to Fanore. The drive was easy and we arrived in about 3 1/2 hours. The house was welcoming and Anna arrived to welcome us and explain the layout and details. She was welcoming and wonderful.

There were 7 of us and the house was more than big enough as every couple had their own room and bath. One room did not have a shower, but besides this small thing which was easily worked out, it was perfect.

We ate a few times down the road at the blue pub (the name escapes me, but it was great), The publican (owner) even gave us some of his brown bread for breakfast. What a great guy. Also try to visit Monk's Restaurant which is north along the coast, great seafood.

We were easily able to see Galway, the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher and more. We even made longer day trips to see things like the Dingle Peninsula and the shrine at Knock. Those made for long days, but were doable if you did the short days in between.

While we were visiting, the owners were staying at the stone house next door and they were delightful to meet. We felt very lucky to meet them and they showed us the stone house which was also breathtaking and great for a smaller group.

Over all, we loved our experience in Ireland, and the bridge house was a large factor in a great trip.

Fantastic accomodation in a magical location!

The area is simply spectacular, the people are warm and enjoying, and the home is charming and relaxing, with a view like no other.

A must do for any visit to west Clare.

Thankyou for the friendship and hospitality!

Review Submitted: June 17, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
I wanted to take the opportunity to send you my thanks for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy your Bridge House in Fanore last week.

Everything was simply perfect and we were overwhelmed not just by the high quality and comfortable nature of the house but also by the hospitality of everyone we had the pleasure to meet throughout the week. Our hosts who greeted us and the people of Fanore were absolutely the best. Sometimes in the fast paced world we experience as USA residents, we lose sight of how kind, warm and welcoming folks can be. Fanore was a wonderful reminder.

The area is so unspoiled and beautiful I can't imagine staying anywhere else when (not if) we visit again!

Many thanks again!

There is an Irish belief that once you go to the
Burren it enchants you and you can never leave. We
certainly found that to be true. Even though we had
to get back to our "regular" lives, we will always
carry the Burren with us. It was the most magical
place we have ever been. Besides the gorgeous
sunsets, the stark beauty of the landscape, the
fascination of the sea, and the amazingly friendly
people, both the Stone house and the Bridge house
were perfect. Their charm and comfort were
everything we could have imagined. It felt like
home. Every view from every window is a
photograph. The gardens are full of wildflowers and
both houses are stocked with great music, books,
and enough great beds, towels, cooking utensils,
and dishes to support an army! There are many day
trips available from the area if one hasn't seen the
west coast, golf courses within an easy drive, and
lovely restaurants within 20 minutes. But why
bother? Nothing was as good as Fanore. Every day
was a new adventure, a new beauty, and a new view
of the area and ourselves. We can't wait to go back!
